Interlagos (BR). The first two free practice sessions for the Brazilian Grand Prix were
held in inconsistent weather conditions with periods of light drizzle in both sessions.
For the BMW Sauber F1 Team the day went without any technical problems. Robert
Kubica and Nick Heidfeld reported progress in terms of car balance and set-up in the
afternoon, but were still not happy.

"Today, we tried different downforce levels and completed some long runs in
preparation for the race. However, it was very difficult to get reliable results because
on several occasions it was drizzling, and the conditions were changing frequently
during the two sessions."

"We changed the car a lot after the first session when it really wasn't good at all. The
changes definitely meant an improvement, but the balance isn't yet as I would like it
to be. We still have some work to do. The track is better than expected, so I can't
complain about any changes for the worse since last year. There are still bumps, of
course, but nothing to worry about."

Willy Rampf (Head of Engineering):

"As far as the track conditions are concerned, this was a mixed Friday for all teams.
Again and again light rain falling made the set-up work difficult. We concentrated on
race preparation and drove with different aerodynamic configurations. For tomorrow
we will concentrate on qualifying. There is still work to do."
